Some people must be sitting there vacuuming  up Apple iPad 3 news like a Dyson. Last week alone demand for the iPad 3 information reached its peak as one in every 2000 searches online were iPad 3 related.

Although the general consensus is that the news Apple will anounce is iPad related there has also been a spike in searches around Apple TV. Looking at the fast moving search terms containing the word ‘apple’ in the last week, the third and fourth fastest moving  terms by volume were ‘apple tv 3’ and ‘new apple tv’ which doubled in search volume in the last week.

I want to saw you couldn’t make it up, but that it is patently not true.  You can and you do it by plugging in your Apple iPad and iPhone and together and you get a Futulele. No serious, it is a a virtual Ukulele or a Virtulele.

Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition hands on review

If Apple is planning an iPad Mini for 2012, then Motorola has beaten it to the punch with its Xoom 2 Media Edition, a pint-sized little brother to the 10.1in Xoom 2 (read our Xoom 2 hands on review). But how will the 8.2in Xoom 2 Media Edition, ahem, measure up when it’s staring down the likes of Samsung’s is-it-a-phone-is-it-a-tablet Galaxy Note? Read More »

Big changes at the Independent today, which last week celebrated the first birthday of its ‘i’ newspaper, as it unveils a new website with an international paywall, which we recently reported was under consideration, as well as a paid for iPad app.

We created The Phantom Clickerist because we wanted to experiment with creating children’s content specifically for the iPad with totally original characters and storyline with unique interactions fully integrated into each page. The result is, we hope, a beautifully illustrated, amazingly interactive experience for parents and children.

The market it still very young and people are still trying different ideas. How could we produce a product that makes the most of the iPad? Read More »

Content platforms evolve, splitting and dissipating audiences as they do. This has been happening in the UK ever since William Caxton’s printing press put the town crier out of work.
